" A TRUE AND TRIED PATRIOT." There was a great" crowd before Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S house, Piccadilly this day, but a strong detachment of Guards are placed there to . prevent all serious mischief. Yesterday morning Sir. H. HA LFORD, Drs. BAIL.; LIE and DUNDAS, arrived at Windsor, and held a Consultation with Dr. Pore, who is in constant at tendance upon Princess AMELIA, upon the state of her Royal Highness's disorder. Yesterday morning the Duke of CUMBERLAN D ar rived at Windsor, upon a visit to their MAJESTI ES. Letters were yesterday received front Holland, dated the Ist instant. They confirm the account of an arrangement with BONAPARTE, in consequence of which his brother Louts is soon to return. The French troops, it is said, were to leave Holland on the 4th. Mr: M`KENZIE, it .is said, left Town on. Thur sday, for 11Iorlatx,, for the purpose, it is supposed, of neg6ciating au exchattt. of Prisoners. Mr. MontEtt is appointed to succeed Mr. JACK= SON, as Alinister Plenipotentiary to the United States. The several P,lice Offices were kept open all night during the debate in,the Hotrse of Commons relative to . Sir F. BURDETT ; and a Magistrate, with the whole of the officels belonging to each (Vice, were in attendance. , Mode. The seventh performance-of the Vocal Concert laSt night at the Hanover-square-room s was attended by an elegant and crowded audience. The chief "Singers were Mrs. BILLINGTON, HARRISON, BARTLEMAINT, Goss, and Mrs. BIANCHI. The se lection Was judiciously varied, and the whole was admirably Performed. .Yesterday Sir DAVID DUNDAS held a public day, at his Ottce in the Horse Guards, The Petitiouers to the Privy Counbil for a new Theatre behig refuted a Charter, 'have presented a petition,-through tl:e. Secretary of State's Office for the Home Department, to the KING for a Patent. Famai.a Js tt Tbursdly afternoon an ex traordinary Scene took place in Parliament-street.— Two well-dressed females, but who seemed to be of the. Cyptian order, appeared in a curricle and pair, but the fair driver, instead of passing through the street, amused herself and, her companion in making as many turns and windings as are seen in ;118 evolutions of a whimsical Skaiter. !After having tried to produce circles, angles, and almost every species of Mat Irematicel figure, and dravtrn together, as indeed seemed • to be her main intention, a con siderable number of spealators, who all. ekpe6ted some fatal event ; the curricle was at length over turned. One of the Ladies was severely bruised, and the other, though not equally hurt, contrived to fall into a very elegant and interesting swoon. The evident wantonness and foilYof the whole transaaion, however, prevented any body from feeling pity,t hough common 'humanity interpta,ed when tl.e catastrophe took place. In the course of this clzarioteerin g ca price, the pavement repository of oranges and apples was overturned, and the venerable Pomona had .a narrow escape, but was unable to prevent her port able shop, and its delicious contents, from being scattered in all dirthions. . SPAiN. (PRIVATE LETTER.) a CADIZ, MARcu 2Q—lt was intended that a debarkation should take place in the night of the lbth, at. the Cano del Trocadero, whilst a ' sally should be made in the diretiion of Santa Petri and Gallmeras. The former operation,, however, was • prevented by a great swell in the.harbour ; the 'lat ter was carried into .etreet. Our troops, supported by a Scotch regiment, made a sally at ,day-break, and kept up a %cry brisk fire for two hours, whe'n, being informed that the intended latiding could not be executed, they returned to their respective posts its the best order. " Field. Marshal Copons commanded the expe dition, and the celebrated Field-Marshal Lacy went second in command. We had from eight to ten killed, and lin wounded. The loss on the part of the French is supposed to have been much greater. " On the t Ith inst. the Duke of Albuquerque submitted to the Couneilof Regency a memorial, complaining.that the promiSes made to him on the part ol the J unta o f t h e c i ty, respecting- the pay a n d clothing of his troops, and the making of fresh le vies, had not been fulfilled; that while their duties were redoubled ; ' ►heir numbers - were daily diminish- • ing by disease and casualties, to an extent Which rendered it impossible to make any sally against the enemy, without exposing various points of defence; and that there was not a suilicient su i ply of corn for his cavalry. He at the same time apprized them, that it means were not taken by the; end of the Month to make an adequate provision for the ditre rent branches of the service, .he should not consider himself as posseSsing sufficient energy and talent to " continue in his present command under such cir cumstances, and that he should, therefore, beg leave to resign it, A duel was folqght, early yesterday Morning, in Copenhagen Fieids, betwixt a Captain STENERs,and a Gentleman .of the name of Cobi.moTok, brother-in-litw, in consequence of a family dispute. Mr. CODLIN,GTON was wounded in the thigh in the second fire.

KTR A CT • "You, Sire, es well as the Public, know that the army under my command, alter difficult and pain ful marches, having repeatedly frustrated the hopes of the enemy to surround it,, had the glory of de feating plan to seize this city, by its se eematne arrival. Every thing was accomplished by the con - stancyandsufferings of its individuals, in the midst - ufbunger and misery, and not the least ofthem, the constant labour in the construction of batteries and other worts of defence, its' putting this Island in its present state; all which is continued to be done a 1... though s u ff er i ng i n the greatest degree, the Officers as well as the men. ," More Atari 40 days have elapsed since, the army .under illy command has been promised cloathing, pay, and the other necessaries it so 'well deserves, as the frith of its toils, - and to put a stop to the Cla mour of meritorious individuals ; but T sev , ,with great pain, that notwithstanding my appicaions have been frequent, I have derii'ed from them no benefit. The army is in the greatest. want. The redneed state of its batteqons foices thu-servite to be doubled at the different points; so that not being abie t,, resit tie fatigue, besides those who K, the remainder are deprived of the necessary i struc don. and discipline, - much, less are they a )1e :o make sortees on the enemy, as might be necessary, without taking . away troops from points which ought nor-to be hazarded. P ersuaded of all this since-my arriVal, I called also for the completing on the ranks of the army from the immense number of inhabit lids, of this city, and the Island of Leon, cumbersome and useless the greater part in our aetual situation, but which has not had effect. Thus, Sire, you see the army under my charge is moving to its total destrudien, if yoer M:ijesty does not take the liveliest means to complete with out delay its ranks ; the• Chiefs, Officers, and . aol. Liters paid with punauelity, to every individual of which, - after having lost all he was pos , essed of, sdine pay is yet due; that the soldiers be clothed, • which is absolutely necessary.; granaries formed for the cavalry, as no other fi);age Call be erovided for there, whiche has not been the case since their ar rival in the Island of Leon, although of the first-ne cessity towards their preservation, and to put a stop to the mortality at present experienced. " Lastly, they labour under the greatest want of clean beds and the ..seal care that. soldiers whdfall sick requite, and which humanity points. out. I should not fulfil my duty, and should be wanting in an unpardonable degree to the confidence your Majesty has been, pleased to honour me with in the defence of this town, 'and would badly repay the many honours I have received; were I - to- conceal the real state of the army, and not represent to your Majesty, that if in all this. Month What has already been promised to the army is not fulfilled, and funds ready to pay the labour d•the diffetent for tifications and entrenchments for my army, I do not find myself with sufficient forces nor talents to continue any longer in the command for the defence of this town; and I supplicate your .Majesty, if from untuward circutustatices, or from whatever motive the _whole of the wants of the army are not provided for,. I may instantly be permitted to re sign my charge; knowing that in no other manner I can fulfil my duty, it would be deceiving your 'Majesty and the whole nation, which heinous. crime it were not possible I could commit.
